About the Program
The Early Alert Program is a proactive, student-centered system of communication between faculty, staff, academic advisers, and students at West Texas A&M University. The program was designed as an early intervention program to assist students who are continuing to display behavior that puts them at risk for successfully completing a course; identify students potentially at risk for academic, social, financial and/or personal reasons; provide them with the resources to have a successful academic experience; and assist them with progress towards degree completion.
This intervention by Advising Services is not to replace direct contact by faculty with a student, but to assist faculty as an additional resource to contact students and discuss their choices.
